Landmine kills four Albanians near FYROM border

Four Albanians were killed by a landmine explosion near a remote village in northern Albania on the border with the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (FYROM), police said yesterday. Three brothers aged 13, 15, 20 and a 38-year-old were gathering medicinal herbs about 1.5 km (one mile) from the border when they were blown to pieces by the device, which blasted out a three-meter (10-foot) deep crater on Sunday.
